Maverick vs Lakers NBA Picks by AI Sports Predictor

On Thursday, January 12, 2023, the Western Conference will heat up when the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks face off. The Lakers have been on a tear lately, having reeled off five-straight victories before heading to Denver and suffering a 13-point loss to the Nuggets — despite being favored by 12.5 points. LeBron James, who is probable for tonight’s game, has been playing through injuries over the course of the season, but his play has helped keep them in contention for the playoffs.

Meanwhile, Luca Doncic leads a relatively young Mavericks team that has found success in spite of their lack of experience and depth; however, they tend to struggle when favored against the spread. This matchup is sure to be an exciting one as both teams are hungry for victory and jockeying for playoff position in the tight Western Conference race. But for this matchup, I will be taking the Lakers on the spread at +3 at home. That is my free pick for today!
